Brother Jia Sheshu of the Red Chamber

Although Jia Yuanchun had been staying in the Rongqing Hall to take care of Jia Li's family, he secretly made people pay attention to the movement of the second room.

Today, the Supreme Emperor was angry because of Brother Jue's failure to go to school, and even the eldest master followed suit. She was worried that the master and his wife would blame Brother Jue for this incident, so she asked the little maid to guard the second room. What's the matter, she begged the old lady to save Brother Jue, but she never expected that the little maid overheard how her good master and wife were going to sell her to a merchant as his wife!

Jia Yuanchun burst into tears angrily, begging: "Madam, my granddaughter must never marry a merchant."

Although the Xue family seems to be very prosperous now, but the Xue family used to be the family of the imperial merchants, ranking the lowest among the four major families, and not many people looked up to it. If the aunt had no other way back then, she would not have married into the Xue family.

The Xue family is just a merchant, and being able to marry her aunt can be said to be a blessing to their Xue family, but the Xue family treats her aunt just like ordinary people, and does not respect their first wife at all. to merchants.

Jia Lishi was also trembling with anger, and said in a hateful voice: "The second child is really getting more and more outrageous."

She even put her mind on the child's marriage!After all, although the two families have divided the property over the years, there are still some things that cannot be explained clearly.

For example, Brother Zhu and Sister Yuan have been raised in Rongqingtang since they were young. Whether it is monthly money, clothes or head jewelry for the four seasons, they are all taken from Rongqingtang. money.To put it bluntly, the children were not raised by the second child, but when they sold the children, they could have imagined that they had given birth to them.

"Old lady, save me!" Jia Yuanchun cried, "My daughter doesn't want to be sold by the old lady like this."

"Don't worry." Mrs. Jia Li patted Jia Yuanchun's hand and said, "No matter how hard this matter is, I can't surpass it. Besides, you still have an uncle."

Wang Ziteng is the most protective person, if he finds out about this, I guarantee that the second child will feel better.

As soon as uncle was mentioned, Jia Yuanchun also felt a little relieved. She could feel that Mrs. Xing was a little afraid of uncle for some reason. As long as uncle came forward, Mrs. Xing would not dare to marry her out indiscriminately, but...

Jia Yuanchun smiled wryly, although uncle loves them, but after so many years, because the master has caused troubles again and again, aunt has also started to criticize, if I ask uncle to go down, I am afraid that I will use up the last bit of affection in my family.

Compared to her, her elder brother needed her uncle's help the most, so Jia Yuanchun really didn't want to bother her uncle with such a small matter.

Jia Lishi said a few more words of comfort, and repeatedly promised that Mrs. Xing would not interfere in her marriage, and then let the eldest maid send Jia Yuanchun back to her room to rest.

Jia Min was also worried about his mother these two days, so he deliberately stayed in Jia's mansion to accompany her. He happened to be in the room too. Hearing about Yuan Chun, seeing Jia Yuanchun's sad face and pity in his heart, he couldn't help sighing: "Mother Why didn't I get engaged to Yuan girl earlier, so I wouldn't have such a bad thing."

Although the Rongguo Mansion is still the Rongguo Mansion, can the Rongguo Mansion when the father was there compare with the Rongguo Mansion when the elder brother was there?If you got engaged earlier, girl Yuan would be able to pick a good one. Like now, girl Yuan will be 17 years old when she is filial piety.

Jia Min secretly regretted that Yuan girl was the best born among the four girls in Jia's family. She was raised by Jia Li's family since she was a child. Life is delayed.

"I also want to give Yuan girl a good look, but Yuan girl's situation is really high or low, that's so easy."

Speaking of this, Jia Lishi was also a little helpless.Speaking of which, Jia Yuanchun is the eldest daughter of the Rongguo Mansion, so her status is naturally extremely noble, but her biological father is not up to the mark, he is just an eighth-rank official, and he has not moved his nest for more than ten years. Yes, even if you mix, you should go up to one and a half levels, right?

Jia Zhengyao is just incompetent, but he has made a lot of jokes over the years. A second-generation official like Jia Zheng is rare in Beijing. Poor sister Yuan was murdered by her biological father. Better off They didn't dare to marry her, and even if they were close to it, they were reluctant, so they were delayed abruptly.

Jia Lishi complained: "It's also your father. Every time I finally pick someone, your father always beats me back, saying that I am not good enough for Yuan girl. Now I have really hurt Yuan girl."

Jia Yuanchun is Jia Daishan's first direct granddaughter. As the saying goes, it's good to be a relative from generation to generation. This really applies to Jia Daishan and Jia Yuanchun.

Among all the children, Jia Daishan loves Yuan Yatou the most. Even his grandchildren are pushed to the back. To the point of being rubbed by Mrs. Xing.

Although she said it forcefully just now, she actually didn't have much confidence in her heart. After all, she was not Jia Zheng's biological mother and had no blood relationship with Yuan Yatou.

Jia Min couldn't help sighing when she heard the words, her father really loved Yuan girl, even Yuan girl's dowry was ready, among several children, Yuan girl got the only private house, but the second brother...

If it weren't for the similarities between the three brothers and sisters, Jia Min really wondered if the second brother was his own flesh and blood?How come there is so much difference between him and her brother?

Jia Lishi also had some headaches, and finally sighed: "Fortunately, there is still a year of filial piety, and I can always find suitable candidates."

Liang Jia Zheng didn't have the guts to betroth Yuan girl during the old lady's filial piety. If she really wanted to offend her, she went to the Wang's house and asked the prince to take care of the second child.

Speaking of Yuan girl, Jia Min naturally thought of Jia Zhu, who was a twin with Jia Yuanchun, "Speaking of which, does mother have any idea about Brother Zhu's matter?"

Jia Lishi hesitated slightly, "Wang Ziteng intends to marry his beloved daughter."

Speaking of which, this is a good marriage. Although the blood is closer, Wang Ziteng is a courtier who relies heavily on the Holy One, and he is also an admiral of the Nine Schools. In Jia Zheng's situation, this marriage is still a high priority for Zhu Geer, but it is the prince. Another condition that Teng put forward made people feel a little embarrassed.

"Hey!" Jia Min couldn't help but give a kiss, "It's a good thing, why didn't I hear my mother say it before."

Don't say that the two families are close relatives, Wang Ziteng treats Brother Zhu well on weekdays, and she has seen Wang Xiluan before. The appearance of Wang's daughters has always been good. Hearty and generous, she is no worse than Brother Lian's future daughter-in-law──Wang Xifeng.

In terms of family background, character, and appearance, you are truly worthy of Brother Zhu. Why didn't you hear about such a good thing from your mother before?

Mrs. Jia Li sighed slightly, "Master Wang said that he doesn't care about the amount of the dowry, nor does he care about Jia Zheng, a troublemaker. He wants two things. First: Brother Zhu will not be allowed to take concubines in the future, not even connecting rooms." Brother Zhu can only take a concubine unless sister Luan is still childless at the age of 30."

Jia Min thought about it carefully, "It's not a big deal, Mrs. Wang is just such a daughter, so it should be."

Alas, why didn't she think of making three chapters in advance?If he thought about it, he should have threatened Brother Hai first.

Jia Lishi smiled wryly, "Yeah, this is of course not a big deal, Brother Zhu himself agreed, but the second point is really embarrassing."

As soon as Wang Ziteng put forward this condition, even Brother Zhu himself didn't object. She, a grandmother, has nothing to say, but the real problem lies in the second clause.

Jia Lishi sighed: "Prince Teng requested that Wang Xiluan's second son follow their surname Wang and inherit the Wang family's business."

Jia Min frowned slightly, and immediately understood the reason why her mother refused to allow the marriage.

In all honesty, it is not surprising that Wang Ziteng made such a request. Wang Ziteng only has one daughter under his knees, so he is naturally unwilling to let the huge family property of the Wang family be cheap for others. Unexpectedly, but the Jia family is not an ordinary family, so it is possible to do such a thing as sending Brother Zhu out to be a son-in-law.

"What does Brother Zhu mean?" Jia Min asked in a low voice.

Jia Lishi sighed: "Brother Zhu is smart, so he naturally knows what is best for him. He agreed without saying a word, but it's your father who refuses."

Although Brother Zhu is good, there are Jia Hu and Jia Lian under him. Brother Hu was brought up by the Holy One. Needless to say, he is talented in learning. Even Brother Lian is also very smart. Green out of blue is better than blue, I heard that the Holy Majesty is planning to let brother Lian enter the household department.

Compared with the above two elder brothers, Zhu Geer is naturally a little mediocre, and Jia Zheng, a father who is a hindrance, Zhu Geer will find out what good things he can find when he gets married in the future. To put it bluntly, Zhu Geer If the son didn't happen to be Wang Ziteng's nephew, Wang Ziteng might not have taken a liking to him.

Under such circumstances, Wang Xiluan is indeed the best person Zhu Geer can find right now. Although the second son's surname is Wang is a bit embarrassing, but Zhu Geer has been cared for by Wang Ziteng since he was a child. It can be considered close, but after a while he agreed.

But someone jumped out and disagreed.It is too embarrassing to be the son-in-law of someone who is a dignified son-in-law of the Rongguo Mansion.

Speaking of this matter, Jia Li's teeth itch with hatred. The old man is dissatisfied with this, but he is picky about that. As a result, he didn't choose a suitable one for the marriage of the two children before his death, which actually delayed the two children. .

Hearing this, Jia Min couldn't help but smile bitterly.

After a little hesitation, Jia Min asked in a low voice: "If mother believes in Sensei, why don't sister Yuan leave it to me?"

Knowing daughter Mo Ruomu, when Jia Li heard this, she knew that Jia Min might have someone suitable, so she directly asked, "Who did Min'er think of?"

Jia Min nodded slightly, "It's not an outsider, but Brother Mo Jiang's second son."

She rubbed her belly, feeling a bit bitter and helpless, "I have been unable to add a younger brother to Yu'er these days, if..." Jia Min bit her lower lip and said vaguely, "I can't let the Lin family live in Brother Hai's life." This generation has cut off the incense, and my husband intends to adopt Brother Mo Jiang's second son."

Brother Mo Jiang is the husband and concubine brother, and his adopted child is also the flesh and blood of the Lin family. If Xiao Er marries Yuan Chun, then it can be regarded as a close relationship, which is not bad.

Jia Lishi nodded slightly. Jia Min's almost difficult childbirth back then really frightened her. Selfishly speaking, she really didn't want her daughter to suffer any more. Now that Lin Ruhai agreed to adopt Mo Jiang's second son, it was naturally excellent.

Let Yuan Yatou marry, on the one hand, Mo Jiang's family is also a suitable family; on the other hand, Yuan Yatou will always favor her own aunt no matter what, and she doesn't worry about Min'er having to look after her stepson and stepson's daughter-in-law in the future. complexion.

Jia Lishi pondered and said: "After seven or seven, I will post a post to ask Imperial Doctor Zhang to come to the residence and have a good discussion."

What she meant was to agree.

Jia Min was overjoyed, "Thank you, mother."

"Thank you." Jia Lishi patted Jia Min's hand, "We are mother and daughter, so we have nothing to thank."

Thinking of the second couple, she frowned slightly, "I'm just worried that Imperial Doctor Zhang will look down on our girl Yuanchun because of the second couple."

When talking about the second brother and his wife, Jia Min also felt a little weak. She was not sure: "Anyway, they are still observing their filial piety. I think the second brother and the second sister-in-law wouldn't choose what to do at such a time, would they?"

Facts have proved that Jia Min still underestimated Jia Zheng and Mrs. Xing's greed and thick-skinnedness, and Mrs. Xing went directly to the Xue family's door before the seven or seven days passed.

Although she wanted to use Yuan Chun to exchange a large amount of dowry, there are not many families in Beijing who can pay a large amount of dowry, and this Xue family is one of them. Besides, the mistress of Xue's family is the elder sister of Yuan Chun's birth mother, so it can be said that she is close to her. Dear, it's better to say it out loud.

Furthermore, Mrs. Xue herself loves to subsidize her natal family, and she would not object to Yuan Chun's behavior of subsidizing her natal family after marriage, so Mrs. Xing came to her door to propose marriage openly.

Upon hearing Mrs. Xing's visit, Xue Wangshi still doubted her ears a bit, and she asked doubtfully, "Are you sure it's the second lady from Rongguo Mansion who is visiting?"

"Exactly." Zhou Rui's family was a little embarrassed, "It is the second wife of Rongguo Mansion."

She secretly sighed that she was unlucky, and she didn't know how the second lady of the Rongguo Mansion learned the rules?Ordinary bereaved families have the reason to visit other people's homes during the hot funeral. Isn't this embarrassing other people's homes?But everyone has arrived at the door, so it's not good to say no, it's really embarrassing.

Zhou Rui's family asked cautiously: "Madam, do you want to see me?"

Xue Wang frowned and muttered, "Why did you come at this time?"

Mrs. Xing herself is not taboo, but she is taboo, but everyone is here, and there is no reason to drive them away.

"That's all! That's all!" Mrs. Xue shook her head slightly, "Please come in, by the way, let Pan'er go home later, don't bump into her."

"Yes." Zhou Rui's family quickly brought Mrs. Xing in.

As soon as Mrs. Xing entered Xue's house, her eyes couldn't help turning around.

The Xue family deserves to be a wealthy family, the furnishings in this room are really luxurious, there are two self-sounding clocks from the West alone, such things are only found in the big house, and their second house doesn't even have a side I touched it, but I didn't expect that Xue's family also had one, and if there was one, there would be two sets.

Looking at the chiming clock, Mrs. Xing couldn't hide her envy.

Xue Wang held the tea to cover the sneer of disdain at the corner of his mouth, and asked with a smile, "I don't know why the second wife came to Xue's house?"

As soon as Mrs. Xing entered the door, she served tea. It was extremely impolite to serve tea to see off guests.

"Hehe." Mrs. Xing said with a smile: "Isn't it just because of our girl Yuan?"

"Oh!" When Jia Yuanchun was mentioned, Xue Wang's expression froze, and he asked worriedly, "What happened to Yuanchun?"

For the daughter left behind by the second sister, Xue Wang is also very concerned.

Mrs. Xing said with a smile: "Both colleges should be married, female colleges should be married. I'm here to talk about marriage for our girl Yuan."
